LiteracyTo celebrate the holidays we will be

reading a variety of children’s stories. We will begin the month with a Gingerbread

Unit and continue to read old and new holiday stories throughout the rest of the month. The stories will be used to

discuss the characters and setting in a story and aid in retelling and comprehending what has been read. We will also focus on

the vowels /a/ and /o/.

WritingThe children have finished all their letters and we will continue practicing our letter

formation. We will also be working on having the children write their names with

capital letters at the beginning only. The holiday activities we have planned will

help to reinforce their fine motor skills.

MathThis month we will continue learning our

numbers and will be working on the numbers four and five. We will

also be revisiting shapes, patterns and graphing through

some fun holiday math activities.

Holiday FunOn Friday, December 18th we invite

the children to come dressed in their pajamas to enjoy the magical movie

The Polar Express! The children will enjoy cookies and hot chocolate and

participate in fun activities.
